Accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking for progressive keratoconus

Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 2013
To evaluate the efficacy of accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) procedure for progressive keratoconus.Twenty-three eyes of 23 patients undergone accelerated CXL procedure were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively at 1st, 3rd and 6th month for uncorrected distant visual acuity (UDVA), best corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA), spherical ...

Conventional Versus Accelerated Collagen Cross-Linking for Keratoconus

Eye & Contact Lens: Science & Clinical Practice, 2015
: Collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a procedure that primarily aims to increase corneal stiffness. Although used for a variety of conditions, it is most commonly applied to the treatment of keratoconus. Collagen cross-linking involves irradiation of the cornea with ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation after it has been soaked with riboflavin (vitamin B), a ...

Long-Term Results of Accelerated and Conventional Corneal Cross-Linking

International Ophthalmology, 2020
The aim of this study is to compare the long-term follow-up outcomes of traditional and accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus.This retrospective comparative cohort study included patients with keratoconus who underwent corneal cross-linking (CXL) between August 2008 and December 2016.

Isotonic Riboflavin and HPMC With Accelerated Cross-Linking Protocol

Cornea, 2014
The aim of this study was to monitor corneal pachymetry changes during accelerated collagen cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus while using isotonic riboflavin with HPMC.All consecutive patients who underwent CXL for progressive keratoconus, using accelerated protocol and isotonic riboflavin with HPMC, from December 2012 to September 2013 were included

Accelerated Corneal Cross-Linking

2018
Purpose: Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new treatment that offers refractive stability in patients with corneal ectatic disorders. The conventional Dresden protocol has been firstly described, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated by several clinical trials.

Scotopic Contrast Sensitivity and Glare After Accelerated Corneal Cross‐Linking [PDF]

Australasian journal of optometry, The, 2018
The aim was to assess one-year changes in uncorrected and corrected contrast sensitivity (CS) and glare under scotopic conditions after accelerated cross-linking (CXL) using the 18 mW/cm2 protocol for the treatment of progressive keratoconus and compare results with unoperated controls.In this non-randomised clinical trial, 30 eyes were enrolled in the

Myasthenic Antibodies Cross-Link Acetylcholine Receptors to Accelerate Degradation

New England Journal of Medicine, 1978
The decrease of acetylcholine receptors at neuromuscular junctions of myasthenic patients has been attributed to an antibody-mediated autoimmune process that accelerates receptor degradation. We studied the mechanism of this process in skeletal-muscle cultures, using intact antibodies and antibody fragments.

Principles of Accelerated Corneal Collagen Cross-Linking

2017
Prior to the advent of the corneal collagen cross-linking procedure, no conservative treatment for corneal ectasia existed, with 20% of keratoconus patients progressing to eventually require penetrating keratoplasty [1].
